Re: Bruder Piggyback Forklift
Yes it is capable of lifting itself up. One of the first things I tested when I got it fully assembled. I will have to modify the rear of my flatbed trailer so that it can haul it.

Re: Newbie Scratch Build - D575A Dozer
Great work, was really nice to get an update. I really like the idea of using the Arduino and thanks for sharing the code. What will the approximate size of your machine be when finished?

Re: HIAB X-HIPRO 1058 loader crane
Very interesting method for anchoring tie-downs. Never seen that before. Your idea or is that method actually used on trucks where you live?

Re: 3D Printing Test
Yes, you are correct, a webbed structural element will be stiffer than a flat piece of the same shape. I used the flat material because it was a relatively simple matter to design and slice the...

Re: Volvo A40F
